How to push back railway decisions?
Hi all from Auranga development in Drury where walking and clean transport is the main drive since design, as well as cycle friendly. Kiwirail has decided to move the future Drury West train station in the same lineal direction of the planned railway but almost 500 metres from the main hub of schools, services, businesses and mall center. Additionally the place where they plan to allocate the station will not make it possible for those of us wanting to reduce the use of cars to commute in a safe and secure manner. Looking at the other southern train stations, it looks like a repitition of the same behavior of decisions to allocate train stations far from services, schools or businesses. (An exception to this is Middlemore Hospital, Newmarket and Britomart). If our vision is to reduce our carbon footprint, how can you help prevent the same errors being made in these kinds of decisions? You can read more about this on the following link: www.rnz.co.nz...
